hi guys

on the weekend i did a DIY on my r34 gtt stock bov

we cut a coke can into the shape of the BOV as a gasket to block off airflow causing it to flutter but now it is back firing pritty regularly

y is it back firing so much ?

and how much damage am i causing to the turbo?

thank u =)

your car will also stall.

I did the coke can thing and undid it. Its crap. Get a HKS SSQV if you want flutter.

The afm is expecting air (from plum back bov) to be returned to the air flow, so when you stop that air being plummed back into the air flow the air flow metre doesnt know this and just assumes everything is normal, hence thinking there is more air there than there really is, therefore keeping the same amount of fuel for less air, causing it to run rich. hope that made sence

So if u put the afm in the cooler piping do you rekkin it would run beta?

not too sure but the thing is...people have done this but the AFM isn't designed to be placed under pressure, its just plastic, and excess heat to this plastic can cause it to become brital. The afm relies on an accurate reading of resistance measured by a very thin wire. Any excess heat to this could cause improper readings, hence different air/fuel ratio....probably wouldnt be f**k all but there's no point just for a flutter and bad economy.

LOL

it works... but wouldn't recommend it on a r33 with the ceramic wheels..

blew mine out my exaust pipe and also straight into the intercooler..

i don't see any issue with a steel wheel type turbo

edit: i have fixed this up cos people can't seem to understand wtf i was saying...

Err how is that possible? Is your exhaust connected to your intercooler? :P

:laughing-smiley-014:

Luckily it didn't go the other way and end up in your sump hey? or even worse, in the flux capacitor.

aah.. school holidays :P

if and I stress IF .. your serious about this make sure your aware of the possible damage it might do

also if you REALLY want to do this .. least give the 34 a bit of respect and cut a bit of 3mm Ally plate and paint it black .

on a LOT of cars you will get flutter if you back off on low revs -

at full throttle the BOV is designed to stop air " ramming up against " the throttle body and traveling back past the turbo wheel

    • The cross sectional area of a circular hole scales with the square of diameter. So a 2mm diameter hole is 4x the area of a 1mm hole. Not double. The 1.7mm hole is nearly 3x the area of a 1mm hole. You do not need restrictors at both ends of the oil supply line. If you have new, additional restrictors at the turbo end, that you did not have before, then you do not need a restrictor at the inlet end.
    • Hi all. Been a while but things are moving along. I just have something that I am wondering about. Since I will use OEM turbo oil pumbing, I got myself a new bolt, the one that goes into the engine block oil feed. As I recall (and see visually) this bolt comes restricted with I think a 1.7mm hole? Not quite sure but it was something around that size. The turbos have 1mm restrictor bolts installed, as necessary due to ball bearings and my higher oil pressures. Can I now just use that OEM bolt with the 1.7mm hole in for the engine block or will this actually be too much oil flow restriction and I have to drill it out first? In my head it would make sense for the bolt to be at least 2mm wide as both turbos take "1mm of oil flow". Do let me know if my logic is flawed here, I just want to make sure I don't kill my turbo bearings with too little oil. Don't know if I can trust the saying I read somewhere that ball bearing turbos essentially only need an oil mist
    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
